cities with more than 1 million people in
east asia
number of cities with more than 1 million people in 2016

Explanation:

To fill out the bar graph, we extract the number of cities with more than 1 million people for each region from the passage:

• China: About 150 cities.
• Taiwan: 6 cities.
• South Korea (Seoul is part of South Korea): 9 cities.
• Japan: 10 cities.
• Mongolia: 1 city.
• North Korea: 0 cities (no cities with more than 1 million people).

We then plot these values on the bar graph:

• For China, draw a bar reaching up to 150 on the vertical axis.
• For Taiwan, draw a bar reaching up to 6.
• For South Korea, draw a bar reaching up to 9.
• For Japan, draw a bar reaching up to 10.
• For Mongolia, draw a bar reaching up to 1.
• For North Korea, draw a bar at 0 (or leave it empty, as indicated by "no cities").

This completes the bar graph with the correct number of cities for each region in East Asia with more than 1 million people in 2016.
